Abstract: In a distributed printing system of the invention, in response to reception of a print job, a distributed printing control device specifies distribution destination printing devices for the received print job, stores identification information of the specified distribution destination printing devices, and distributes divisions of the received print job as divisional print jobs to the specified distribution destination printing devices. In response to an instruction given by a client, the distributed printing control device sends a transmission request for print job-related information on processing of the distributed divisional print jobs to the distribution destination printing devices and receives the print job-related information from the distribution destination printing devices. The distributed printing control device correlates the received print job-related information to the stored identification information of the distribution destination printing devices and sends the print job-related information correlated to the identification information to the client. The client receives the print job-related information correlated to the identification information from the distributed printing control device and displays information identifying each of the plural distribution destination printing devices and information representing a progress status of each of the divisional print jobs distributed to the plural distribution destination printing devices, based on the received print job-related information and the correlated identification information. This arrangement of the invention enables the client to readily identify the distribution destination printing devices specified by the distributed printing control device and to display the progress status of each of the divisional print jobs distributed to the respective identified distribution destination printing devices.

Abstract: A backlight unit (1) for a flat panel display such as an LCD or as a light source for advertising displays or for general illumination purposes. The backlight unit consists of a light guide panel (10), a series of LED sources (31) mounted on a printed circuit board (33) and a cooling radiator (50), the LEDs being mounted together with the PCB and the radiator in a groove (13) on the back surface (10b) of the light guide. The elasticity of the groove walls holds the components in place (press-fit). The light sources are thus mounted inside the light guide and not at the guide edge. The arrangement allows a simplification in the assembly process. 
The radiator is also mounted inside the groove and conducts the heat dissipated by the sources to the back surface of the light guide. The radiator and the PCBs (also flexible ones) can be fitted in a curved groove, depending on the light guide configuration. It is also possible to produce planar light guides with curved (fig.8) instead of rectangular principle surfaces or non-planar curved geometries in three dimensions (fig.17). 
The light guide principle light emitting surface exhibits either a plurality of notches (11), an unevenly distributed dot pattern, a printed dot pattern or a diffuse surface in order to better distribute the light. 
A white film (21) arranged at the bottom of the groove helps to redistribute the light from the sources and to make the LEDs and their associated wiring (35) less visible from the front viewing side. 
A reflection film (12) on the back surface of the light guide is also provided. Various embodiments include different cooling radiator configurations (figs.5a-5g), a closed groove with one entrance (13a) (for the wiring), arrays of LEDs on several sides of the guide (fig.15) and a slim guide variant (fig.19), in which an additional supporting substrate (10) attached to the guide helps to accommodate the groove whose depth is greater than the thickness of the slim guide (10c).
